Well I can't test between all Tanks and Healers... But I have WHM and WAR at 100 and one thing I can go do is use old content unsynced as a punching bag to test clear times based on just raw DPS...
The bag of choice being Deltascape 3 (O3), as you can just have 100% uptime.

WHM with ilvl 693 takes around 3 minutes to 2:45, depending on how much slidecasts you can get out.
WAR with ilvl 685 takes around 2:20. Could probably shave a few seconds off with more practice.


And just for further study, MNK at ilvl 696, was able to get a time of 1:30.

I'd say the gap between Tanks and DPS over here is being about the same as Tanks and Healers...
